Yoga and the Quest for True Happiness is a lecture (with a cavalcade of cool images), but it is also a satsang—a setting where truth can be ferreted out.

In this gathering, we review yoga’s dicey issues, framing them through a look at the history, culture and the moralities of India and America. Yoga and the Quest for True Happiness is an opportunity to work out all those quandaries you have about yoga’s place in a capitalist economy, its falseness or trueness, its pretentiousness or potency, its contradictions and its promise. Come to this lecture prepared to be stimulated, enraged and pleasantly surprised. Come with a fearless word on your lips and ideas of your own to contribute to the mix.

Eric Shaw is a PhD candidate in Yoga Philosophy and Religion and is currently writing a history of modern yoga for Anusara Press. http://www.prasanayoga.com/
